yesterday the weather was good for one thing....well....3 things.
- Napping
- Mock Packing
- Staring into nothingness
have I mentioned how much I despise cold weather!?!? I.HATE.COLD.WEATHER!!!
Consider it mentioned!!!!!
POINT: the mock pack was actually a pretty productive portion of my day and I'm proud to announce....
it ALMOST fits!:)
below are many a photo regarding my Spain packing. Here's the plan...Jacob and I will each have a carry-on bag. Jacob will also have a backpack and I will also have a 'large' purse.
we're hoping that Jacob can pack super light (fingers crossed;) and then I'll be able to squeeze a few extras in his bag.
ALSO. In order to buy anything over there...our tentative plan is to buy a large bag that we can check on the way back. So, obviously, everything should go perfectly;)
okay...enjoy the photos!!!!
UP/DOWN here's my carry-on bag. You can see that everything doesn't quittttteeee fit. But it's seriously close and there may be a few things I'm going to cut from the bag to make some room.
UP here's everything that I packed.
and now the outfits. What I tried to do was use pieces from my closet that could go with multiple things. The same shirt that could go with a skirt, capris and jeans and so on. SO a lot of the photos will be the same with some slight variation:)
UP a random dress that is easy to pack and takes little to no space. BUT it stands alone so I'm thinking of cutting this...
jacket - JCPenny
necklace - Etsy
UP/DOWN this dress I just love and would love to take, even though it doesn't work with a lot...I most definitely love it pulled down as a skirt:)
dress - Target
sandals - garage sale $2
(there are some repeats...I won't list them every time:)
UP/DOWN again...another dress I love but works once....BUT I doubt Spain will notice the repeat:) And keeping in mind that these are super thin and great to pack:)
dress - Heritage 1981
UP/DOWN same thing happening here...a dress that is cute and I have yet to wear and would like to...easy to pack...torn on whether to take it.
dress - Heritage 1981
jacket - my mom's:)
wedges - Call it Spring (best money I ever spent on my feets:)
UP/DOWN this little cloth skirt is SUPER comfy and can pretty much be worn with anything:)
skirt - H&M
top UP - JCPenny (in black)
top DOWN - Target
purse - Aldo
shoes - Converses (supa' old:)
UP loving the rolled up capris.
capris - A&E (actually long skinny's)
UP/DOWN my cute new top and now I'm starting to question if you can wear ripped up jeans in Spain!? Mind you, we're not going to be IN the big Cities...kinda the outskirt towns...thoughts?
top - PacSun
jeans - supa' old...and I'll love them till the END of time:)
UP this top may or may not go with anything else...I like it...it may not make the cut.
top - Heritage 1981 (similar)
UP i just got some leggings...that I love and KNOW will come in super handy but I wasn't able to make anything else work with them in this group. Crap. SO thinking they could double for hiking and such....and maybe they'll just come in handy at some point!?
top DOWN - H&M (SO many great things that I want to buy right now:)
cardigan - Target (super sale:)
leggings - Target ($8)
UP/DOWN here are my long jeans being added to the mix. I wasssss thinking about cutting these. I can't really give you the thinking behind that but since the weather is going to be relatively nice while we're there (70's during the day and only getting to mid to low 60's at night...so I think I could live without one pair of long jeans...maybe?!).
jeans - Alloy
UP/DOWN just more examples of my long jeans:)
UP/DOWN putting some shorts in there. I think it'll be warm enough for that:)
shorts - PacSun
UP/DOWN loving my maxi skirts! They work with everything and are SUPER comfy:)
skirt - ? can't remember?!!
UP my new favorite top:)
top - Gap
UP/DOWN (OMG...i look herendous in these photos...keep in mind that ALL I did that day was stare into nothingness AND nap;)
Just got this cute top but not really feeling it after sleeping on it....it may get the axxxxxx!
top - PacSun (wasn't able to find the exact one)
UP/DOWN new maxi skirts I got last week. Off color but I like the look:)
skirt - PacSun
UP added a few gray T's too. They'll help with bed and for some hiking and for shopping:)
tops - Target (similar and great prices)
SO there you have it. As you can probably tell. There's a few things I'm undecided about at this point but I think I have a good start and this will basically be the group that I take with me in the end...with just a fewwww changes, whether that be to add or take out a few items.
and now I lost my train of thought. There are SO many new shows coming on right now and I've got one hour to watch some and then off to workkkkkk!!! Eeeeeek.
9 DAYSSSS!!!!:)
